>>>>I think I have to question that. More precisely, Science and physics are not the products of our minds (unless you just mean the words 'science' and 'physics'). I'd suggest that what is the product of our minds is how we interpret and choose to understand the manifestations of the underlying laws of science and physics.

Probably impossible to know that. But not knowing doesn't mean there is no difference. Remember Newton's laws of interaction? We knew them as laws, and later discovered that they were not quite laws, but just maybe bylaws.

True. I was interpreting what you said in my own understanding.

Ah, that's the sixty-four dollar question. The laws would have to be predictive and consistent. As we learn more, that predictability and consistency become more and more... well... predictable and consistent. We may never know for sure, but whether or not we have a full and perfect understanding of those laws, afaic, doesn't affect the laws themselves.

In fact, any lack of consistency in our predictions tells us that the laws don't really much care what we think we understand. They're going to behave they do regardless. If they were a product of our own minds, then wouldn't there necessarily always be absolute consistency and predictability?
